Hi guys,
I would like to here some tips hardware/software for my Linux fileserver (if possible also webserver) that I'm planning to build.
-Because of another server running 24h I would like to keep this sever as low powered as possible.
-The encloser that's needed must stay below 6.7inch (17cm) of thickness.
-Ubuntu server 12 or 14 will be used as samba file server.
Parts so far (not yet ordered):
-Enclosure: Antec ESK3000B-R-U3
-Motherboard: ASRock Q1900M (µATX, Celeron J1900 4core, 2*sata)
-HDD: 2* Western Digital Green, 2 TB
-Memory: GeIL 4 GB DDR3-1333
- PSU: ???
1. I choose the Q1900M motherboard for it's size and Celeron 4 cores CPU.
It's low powered and only would only be used for running Ubuntu server.
I don't think that the CPU would like streaming video and so.
2. The encloser is cheap and fits in the closet where it will be installed.
3. Two WD green 2Tb harddrives. One for the system and the shared folders.
The other disk will be used for backups. Green disks for low power usage.
4. Ram, I just took the cheapest. I really don't know If 8Gb is needed.
5. PSU: I'm not quite done with this thing. I think a PicoPSu 80 or 90 would do just fine. And using a normal ATX psu with 300Watts would be overkill and less power efficient. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
Extra hardware needed?
What it has got to do:
Running 24h, sharing doc's, pictures, AV (not streaming) in a Windows environment.
If it is possible, I would like to access the server from outside the home network, but it has to be as safe as possible. (any tips on this one?)
Any tips on automate backups in Linux.
thanks
